1In the LORD I put my trust. How can you say to my soul, "Flee like a bird to your mountain"?
2For look, the wicked bend their bow. They set their arrow on the string, to shoot in secret at those who are upright in heart.
3If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD's throne is in heaven. His eyes see, his eyelids test, the children of men.
5The LORD tests the righteous. But the wicked, and the one who loves violence, his soul hates.
6On the wicked he will rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a dreadful storm. This will be the portion of their cup.
7For the righteous LORD loves righteousness. His face looks upon the upright.
